[FPSPACE] Climate collapse of 536 CE now known to be impactrelated

[Jens Kieffer-Olsen]

Maybe Jim didn't get far enough into the article?
 
I quote:
 

"Abbott and her team have identified two possible underwater craters

 whose age ranges fit the global dimming event. The first appears to

 have formed when an object roughly 640 metres wide slammed into

 the Gulf of Carpentaria in Australia, and the other when a smaller

 object crashed into the North Sea near Norway."

 

 So, the ancient Goths from whom modern-day Öbergs descended,

 must have had not only their feathers ruffled, but also their glögg

 badly shaken :-)

In your opinion, Jim, but not in the opinion of the Congress of the United
States.
 
Nor in in the opinion of the space leadership of China and Russia.

WAY off topic, Ed -- take this discussion elsewhere.

For a long time there was a debate as to whether this climate collapse was
due to volcano or cometary dust veil. Actual impacts were not suspected.
Only 30-40% of the Earth's population died in this one,though Hopewell
Hopewell loses were probably around 70%.
